WordPress: Remove or replace parentheses from Category Counts (wp_list_categories)

June 8th, 2011 by Grávuj Mikós Henrich

You can learn the basics about the wp_list_categories() function from the WordPress Codex.

By default this function will not show up the post count, but if you will activate it by show_count=1, the post count will be surrounded by parentheses. To remove the parentheses without modifying the WordPress core files, you need to use the following code:

<?php
$variable = wp_list_categories('echo=0&show_count=1&include=1,2,3,4,5&title_li=');
$variable = str_replace(array('(',')'), '', $variable);
echo $variable;
?>

How to use your favourite font on your website?

February 2nd, 2011 by Grávuj Mikós Henrich

Let’s suppose you want to use your favourite font on your website, but that particular font face isn’t included in the fonts package offered by the operating systems. There is a very simple solution. You, or your personal frontend coder, need to copy the font files in your site’s directory and to include the font through CSS styles. But wait a minute, there is a small issue.

Usually you can buy or download your favourite fonts from many places on the internet and most of them have the TrueType font (.ttf) format or OpenType font (.otf) format. You can include both of them in the CSS styles file, but even so your pages content will not be rendered correctly under all the well known major browsers. I’m offering you the solution which covers all the major well known browsers.

URLs with or without “www”

December 2nd, 2010 by Grávuj Mikós Henrich

Which is the Best?

I don’t think that it really matters for anyone if the URL address is with or without the “www”. But there is someone else who “thinks different”. Let’s take the following example:

http://inturnets.com OR http://www.inturnets.com OR http://inturnets.com/

Believe it or not, the search engine robots see them as being three different addresses, and it could possibly split your website’s PageRank value. So here’s a simple trick. In the .htaccess file from the root directory of your website, just insert one of the following rules:

Absolute positioning with CSS

November 29th, 2010 by Grávuj Mikós Henrich

By using CSS and not tables, you have complete control over the positions and dimensions of all page elements due to the layout possibilities offered by CSS. In the next example we will work exclusively with a tableless code, using DIVs. As maybe you knew already, the <div> is a block-level element that is used to divide the page into more logical sections. They are used to format whole blocks of text in your pages.

In our next example, let’s say that we want to create a three column web page, but we need the columns to be rendered in a different order in our browser. Such tricks are recommended to use when from the left to the right you want to render a different column as the first one used in the columns order. Let’s take for a “live” example the henrich.ro blog. Please focus only on the section between the horizontal menu and the footer.

How to create a filter in Gmail?

November 17th, 2010 by Grávuj Mikós Henrich

In the last days I received lots of spam in my Google Mail account. I am pleased with the Gmail spam filter, but it’s annoying to see the number of the unread spam messages in the left bar. They have that bold font and they are almost screaming that “Hey man, we are here and we know that we are peeving you!“. Also I observed, that most of them are received from the same domain. It means that the local-parts (read Email address from Wikipedia for reference) of the email adresses were composed by words like: asdfgbvd, fgshdkis.

Initially I created many filters by selecting the spam emails and then clicked on More actions » Filter messages like these. But after some days, the filters list became too long and often were included also unwanted sender addresses like my own address, as nowadays many email spam bots are filling out the sender name box with the recipients address. So the best way is to create one single filter. In the following rows I will show you how easily can create a filter in Gmail.
